Overview

Dublin-born Steve Conway emigrated to the UK at the height of the mid 80s recession, like so many of his generation. Working as an IT engineer in London Steve's life seemed safe and predictable, until he found himself caught up in the world of illegal pirate broadcasting. Joining a weekend rock music pirate station in South London led to a visit to the famous Radio Caroline ship, Ross Revenge, and a dramatic sea chase. Now determined to join the crew of Caroline, a sudden job offer in the dead of night could not be refused, even though it meant leaving his secure IT job with not even a day's notice. Over the next years, dodging storms, disasters, police roadblocks and the odd flying saucepan Steve rose from the position of newsreader through presenter to eventually become Radio Caroline's Programme Controller. ShipRocked: Life On The Waves With Radio Caroline tells the tale of Steve's life on the (air)waves and the pirate radio ships constant battle for survival - and its eventual dramatic shipwreck.
